Preview Swans vs The Bye

[Bloods86]

Yeah getting WCE twice this season is a huge advantage

Unless you are Collingwood

We get North twice to be fair, it's really just our fault for not turning up to games we think we've got in the bag.

didnt realise /well forgot we have lost to port the last few in a row

We seem to play them in Adelaide, and the Crows in Sydney recently. Round 1 2020 vs the Crows, the exception, in front of no-one.

Has been miserable weather for the last 2 that I've been to vs Port here. At least last year we gave it a shake, in 2019 we were awful.

Still, they haven't been great despite getting a few wins on the board. Hoping the Tigers demolish them, make them do wholesale changes (for what is a reasonably healthy list) and it backfires.

Interesting discussion on Pure Footy with David King today around the Without the Footy stat.

Nine of the last 10 premiers have been in the top 4 of this stat. Currently we are 10th over the last 6 weeks and I've marked the teams we have coming up in the 2nd half.

1: Freo
2: Gold Coast
3: Geelong
4: Adelaide
5: St Kilda
6: Collingwood
7: Richmond
8: Port Adelaide
9: Brisbane
10: Sydney
11: Carlton
12: Melbourne

Surely Hickey comes in for this game.

Hard call for Horse because Ladhams has been fantastic.

Here's the fixture for the 2nd half - discuss. Although all games are there to be won - the games against the Saints are going to be especially crucial I feel..

Port v Sydney
Sydney v Saints
* v Sydney
Sydney v Dogs
Freo v Sydney
Sydney v Adelaide
Sydney v Giants
Norf v Sydney
Sydney v Magpies
Saints v Sydney

Norf, three weeks out from mad Monday, in full priority pick mode…

Bud could kick one million goals that day

Only an irrelevant football club would play for draft picks.

They need another midfielder.

GotTheGoodes you're up!

The bye is done and dusted, and we are now looking forward to next weekend!!!

Please don't make us wait until tomorrow for the Port v Swans Preview Thread!

Probably one of our worst performances. Felt like no one turned up. The boys clearly were more interested it holidaying than they were about playing.

In the end I couldn't watch it

 

[Swansujelly]

probably the best umpiring performance I've seen this year

 

[Millky95]

probably the best umpiring performance I've seen this year

0-0 really let the play go on naturally

Surprise of the season: Who knew the Big Macs down back would prove to be as good as they're proving to be.

I think there were quite a few of us that considered it the most important draft of the year.
That said, there were an awful lot of naysayers on this board.
